The Houston Astros defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-6, in 10 innings. Michael Brantley led the way, going 2-for-6 for Houston. Houston pitcher Tim Norton got the win, upping his record to 1-0. Neftali Feliz got the loss. The Astros improved to a lofty 77-32.

Houston used a timely hit from Shaun Boyd to get the win. The left fielder stroked a 2-run double in the top of the tenth inning to put the Astros ahead, 8-6. It was his only hit in 2 at-bats, but it made an impact.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Brantley.
